Hi Michal, Thank you for giving Snappy a try. We are working with Microsoft to provide a top experience with Snappy on Azure. There are a few pain points that remain, that we are working through. But iteration is fast. In fact, the feedback from users like you is incrediably valuable in making the Snappy experience first class.

Right now, this is a limitation on Snappy. We hope that this restriction will be lifted in the future. Cloud-init, which populates the user credentials defaults to using the ubuntu user. > 2. sudo snappy update crashes VM.

I think that this may be an issue related to partitions.

I am on the team that delivers Snappy to Windows Azure. Like I said, we value your feedback -- especially the bad and the ugly -- as it helps us to improve. Azure, while an amazing partner platform for Ubuntu is a bit difficult to debug so issues may take a bit to clear. > > Best regards, > Michael > -- Ben Howard [email protected] Canonical GPG ID 0x5406A866
